What Wu Ting has to do is very simple, nothing special.
The first thing was to send someone to secretly contact Wu Gong, who was guarding northern Sichuan. He persuaded Wu Gong based on family interests and life and death, and asked him to take the initiative to contact the person in charge of the Guanzhong garrison of the Ming Dynasty to discuss the surrender matter, which must be done quickly and steadily. Be ruthless and don't hesitate.
The second thing is to organize a reliable army to fully control the inside and outside of Chengdu, take down Zhao Buxi's family, and also take down all the local officials, control them, and then build a defense line inside and outside the capital to defend the seven armies. The work of attacking Chengdu.
This thrilling survival action not only depends on whether the Ming Dynasty agrees, but also whether they can defend Chengdu before the Ming Dynasty launches operations and reinforcements arrive in Chengdu, and prevents Chengdu from being invaded by other forces.
To fight against foreign forces, we must first settle the internal situation, solve internal problems first, and then use all our strength to resist the coming foreign enemies.
The foreign enemies are also very powerful. An army of nearly 100,000 people will soon besiege Chengdu. If there is a slight mistake, if they invade Chengdu, it will be a disaster for the people in the city.
This is a thrilling operation of survival in death. If there is even the slightest mistake, this group of people will die without a burial place. Therefore, they must be careful and careful.
Facts have proved that a group of people who try to survive in death can often exert power beyond imagination.
After Wu Ting's secret message was sent out, news came that four foreign armies including Lu Yuan and others were launching an angry counterattack against the imperial court.
The imperial court in Chengdu was in chaos. Zhao Buxi was shocked. Before he could curse the four armies for their betrayal, he quickly ordered Wu Ting to gather troops, collect food and fodder, and prepare to defend Chengdu.
If you really want to sleep, just give him a pillow. Although dangers also exist, opportunities also exist. Wu Ting was just thinking of a reason to gather troops near Chengdu, and the best reason came.
Wu Ting immediately took action and gathered all the more than 23,000 troops currently under his control to deploy defenses near Chengdu. He built military villages, temporary fortresses, etc., blocked all water and land passages, widened and strengthened Chengdu's city walls, and accelerated the construction of barbicans and paved roads. Defense weapons, widening the moat, etc.
They are prepared to stick around for the long haul.
Then, the mutiny took place at the same time.
At night on October 29th, the seventh year of Hongwu, Zhao Buji, who was restless because he was worried about the counterattack by Lu He and others, took the tranquilizing medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor and finally fell asleep. After that, Ma Yongkang and Wu Ting took action.
The Chengdu City Defense Force, which Wu Ting fully controlled, immediately took action, constantly shuttled through the streets and alleys of Chengdu, and captured all Sichuan and Shu local officials who were listed.
They moved quickly and violently, kicking or smashing open the doors of the officials' homes, and then rushed in. They killed the servants they saw, and kicked those who were dressed in unusual clothes to the ground, and then tied them up.
These people, including their family members, will be gifts to the Ming Dynasty from Ma Yongkang, Wu Ting and others, representatives of the Sichuan-Sichuan native faction, and props used by them to improve their merits.
The more these people are, the greater their contribution, and the greater the possibility that the Ming Dynasty will not kill them and give them a superior life.
The most useful and symbolic one is none other than Zhao Buxi's family.
Ma Yongkang personally led the army to the "Imperial Palace" that Zhao Buxi had temporarily renovated from the old palace. With the support of Jiang Qing, the main person in charge of the palace guard and Wu Lin's old subordinate, he successfully entered the "Imperial Palace" and quickly took control of the "Imperial Palace" inside and outside.
All the chamberlains and maids who dared to make a sound were killed. Zhao Buji's family members living in the "Imperial Palace" were all captured, especially the "Crown Prince" who tried to escape. He was caught and beaten by the soldiers. , and then became honest.
Zhao Buxi originally had very light sleep, and he could sleep slightly better after taking tranquilizers. However, he was so restless that he could not fall asleep deeply even after taking tranquilizers. In the past few days, he always woke up in the middle of the night.
There was so much noise outside today that he couldn't even sleep for the rest of the night.
The noise outside made him very annoyed. He rubbed his eyes and pushed open the door in a daze. Then he was stung by the flames of a sea of torches that made him unable to open his eyes.
"Your Majesty, Ma Yongkang, has met with you."
A familiar voice rang in Zhao Buxi's ears. Zhao Buxi was a little surprised and blocked the firelight with his hands to make his eyes feel better.
Ma Yongkang stood alone in front of the sea of fire and looked at him with a smile.
It was only then that Zhao Buyi discovered that the sea of fire was formed by a group of soldiers holding torches. The soldiers held torches in one hand and a shining steel knife in the other.
mutiny.
This word suddenly appeared in Zhao Buxi's mind, making him quite stunned.
Is this a mutiny?
Why is the mutiny happening before my eyes?
What do these mutineers want?
Zhao Buji focused his gaze on Ma Yongkang, who was smiling.
"Ms. Ma, you...what are you going to do?"
"Your Majesty, the situation in Sichuan and Shu has reached this point, and I have no choice but to do anything. At such a critical moment, I have no choice but to respectfully ask your Majesty to abdicate, take the imperial title, and end the Song Dynasty's governance in Sichuan and Shu. Only in this way can the situation be restored. "
Ma Yongkang bowed and said words very respectfully that made Zhao Buxi's brain freeze.
To be honest, at that moment, Zhao Buxi really didn't react.
After a while, the scene where Ma Yongkang found him and invited him to come to Chengdu to be emperor more than a year ago appeared in front of his eyes.
Ma Yongkang was also smiling at that time, and his expression was no different from now.
If there is any difference, it is probably that Ma Yongkang did not bring so many sword-wielding soldiers to stand in front of him and force him to become emperor.
The same person, different scenes and goals, once made Zhao Buji feel that the world was unstable and full of small intestines.
"At first...you invited me to come to Chengdu to be the emperor, but now...you..."
Zhao Buxi's lips trembled.
"yes."
Ma Yongkang nodded.
"At the beginning, I said that I thought I might not be able to carry the heavy burden. It was you who said that there was no other choice, that I was the best choice, and that you would do your best to assist me and continue the Great Song Dynasty."
Zhao Buxi's hands also trembled.
"Yes, I said so."
Ma Yongkang nodded and said: "But now it seems that I was wrong. This is normal. I am not a saint and will definitely make mistakes. Choosing Your Majesty to be the emperor is one of the countless mistakes I have made in my life, but this mistake is too It's so big that the price I have to pay is also too high.
I thought that I could assist His Majesty in continuing the Great Song Dynasty, but His Majesty did not seem to care about the continuation of the Great Song Dynasty. His Majesty was more concerned about His Majesty himself, so that he did not know the fundamental reason why the ministers had high hopes for His Majesty.
Since His Majesty came to the throne more than a year ago, Sichuan and Shu have gone from being a peaceful and stable place to being filled with refugees and corpses. The people have been displaced. Even the landlords and gentry are not immune to the disaster. Every family is bankrupt, every family is separated from its wife and children, and the people are in dire straits. This is really true. It cannot be said that it was not His Majesty's fault. "
"you……"
"Of course, this is also the mistake I made. My biggest mistake is that I should not choose your Majesty to be the emperor."
Ma Yongkang smiled and said: "It is said that knowing a mistake can correct it, and there is no greater good. Since I have made a mistake, I must have the courage to correct it, so that Sichuan and Shu can return to stability and peace, so that the people will no longer be displaced. Therefore, I and the civil and military officials of the imperial court, respectfully invite you Your Majesty abdicates."
As he spoke, Ma Yongkang waved his hand, and several strong soldiers stepped forward decisively. One of them held a rolled up cloth and stuffed it into Zhao Buqi's mouth, making him unable to even say a word.
Then the strong soldiers forcibly suppressed Zhao Buxi who tried to resist, tied him up like a rice dumpling, and then carried him away from his "bedroom".
Zhao Buxi is just a weak man. Without the blessing of his identity, he can't do anything, and even the big-headed soldiers can ask for anything from him.
Zhao Buji's wife heard the sound and came out. The scene in front of her made her stiff with fear.
Ma Yongkang smiled and waved his hand again, and Zhao Buxi's wife was also tied up and carried away.
Counting the "Crown Prince" who had been tied up by Wuhua Da, Zhao Buxi's family was in order.
